Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends on if you use the accrual accounting method or the cash method of accounting. Most small businesses use the cash method, which means you account for income when it is received, rather than when it is earned (accrual).

 

Assuming you are accounting with the cash method, the income will be taxable in tax year 2025 when you file in 2026.
